I think if you want to be kind, you can post a "hugs."Or maybe "It is sad."Or just ignore.

I probably wouldn't untag myself, particularly. You ARE in contact enough for them to have you as a "friend" on Facebook, which is at its MINIMUM appropriate for the surface social stuff. And this sort of falls in that category.

Y'know, I can see the sibling writing this on facebook worrying over whether to tag Roodabega or not. On one hand, Roodabega hasn't lost the person who actually parented them, while on the other hand Roodabega is family. I can imagine that Sibling has decided to err on the side of inclusiveness, and I can't fault them for that.

I don't think it needs a reply, but something noncommittal and comforting like *hugs* would be fine.

I had that situation happen to me 20 year ago. I was the only one of my B-mother's children to be adopted out. (I spent exactly 2 months of my life with her).Since my siblings and I were all fully adults by the time B-mom passed away, they included me in the obituary as her daughter, and I gave them condolences and a mass card and lots of sympathy for the loss of their parent.
